get_discussion_id() errors due to row combine procedure

[coatless]

While attempting to retrieve discussion components with get_discussion_id(), I'm receiving an error of:

get_discussion_id(discussion_id, object_id)
Error: Argument 5 is a list, must contain atomic vectors

The API call issues is found under get a single topic with structure:

/api/v1/groups/:group_id/discussion_topics/:topic_id

The error is being triggered inside rcanvas:::process_response()

Specifically, when it attempts to bind multiple data frames together, e.g.

https://github.com/daranzolin/rcanvas/blob/7496d66934fd5c5a3f7a8247ff4d8d02aeab4682/R/process_response.R#L20-L26

James,

The original contributor to the package has moved on.  I too have issues but I can't wait.  It's just easier (in the short-run) to use the a Python API.  Over time, I suppose I can use the reticulate package in R to coordinate things, but it's still at the end of the day a Python script.

And yes to your other question--retrieving full responses to discussions and threads (with author's SIS ID or other) is useful.

@wsphd Thanks for the fast response. If that's the case, mind if I fork the package?

I'd like to setup some bindings as UIUC recently started piloting Canvas (https://illinoisedu.instructure.com/)

James,

I think forking is in order.  David's work (he is also at a University) was key but I think keeping up with Canvas's large and changing API is, frankly, a full-time job in itself.

And Canvas' use is only growing, not shrinking.  Also, some basics from Moodle weren't/aren't in Canvas.  We need to make Canvas better (IMHO).

Yes, sorry everyone--rcanvas is no longer relevant to my work, and I'm happy to add maintainers beyond @vanatteveldt. @coatless are you interested? The repo could also hypothetically be transferred.

[vanatteveldt]

Hey guys, yeah sorry for not being very active so far. I had plenty of plans, but teaching (and writing a book) got into my way so far. I would be happy to contribute if someone else take's over the lead as well, otherwise I hope to have more time in the coming month. Whether this is best done as a fork, a transfer, or a github organization I'm not quite sure.

It might also be good to have a discussion somewhere on what the goals/priorities are that everyone has. I would like to get it on CRAN asap as that would make it a lot easier to get working esp. for mac/windows users, and we can think about other calls that we would like to wrap.

Please see if the changes I pushed a10c15d just now solved this problem. It appears this occurs because the data returned cannot always be coerced into a data.frame. Please note that I've changed the "setup" in two ways. First, the API token is now more securely stored in your OS's keyring and that setting the domain is a per session setting.
